Work in Progress…

Several years ago, I began a film on the subject of laborers in the granite quarries in Barre, Vermont. Originally, my interest was spurred by the technology revolution of the late 20th century because I was part of a big change in how we work in the communications industry and how we produce art digitally. The history of workers lived experiences since the early 19th century, including my own parents and especially my grandparents, became a very worthy topic to investigate.

This piece became a part of Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie. The movie is the work of over 40 Vermont filmmakers. Click to the right for more videos: a trailer, some promo shorts for a Youth Film Competition, and a variety of animations or motion graphics.
